NAME

       Maven - Creates a link in /usr/share/maven-repo for an existing jar.

SYNOPSIS

       mh_linkjar [option]... [pom] [dest_jar] [link]...

DESCRIPTION

       Create  symlinks for a jar installed by other means. The symlinks created include links to the jar in /usr/share/maven-repo, at the correct
       location for Maven.  It can also create additional links to the jar, usually located in /usr/share/java.

       Where

	      [pom] is the location of the POM associated with the jar to install.

	      GroupId, artifactId and version will be extracted from this file.

	      [dest_jar] is the path of the installed jar, usually located in the

	      usr/share/java folder.

	      [link] is an additional link to the jar to install, usually there should

	      be a link to usr/share/java/$jar.jar and usr/share/java/$jar-$version.jar to comply with the Java packaging  guidelines.	Note  that
	      there is no need to specify those particular links if the --java-lib option is used.
